Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Representing myself.

Absolutely. You can always represent yourself.

You cannot represent another person, though, as that would amount to practicing law without a license.

Re: Representing myself.

Yes. But, Abe Lincoln once wrote that a man who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. That is probably correct. You should call someone for a free initial consultation before you make any decisions.

Re: Representing myself.

Yes, but probably not very well. Even lawyers usually hire other lawyers to represent them in court instead of trying to represent themselves. You should try to get a lawyer if at all possible.

Re: Representing myself.

You can, but it is not a good idea.
